3. 2 black buckets with lids $11.00
4. 1 400 gph pump $18.00
5. PVC pipe about $3.00
6. 1 Power strip $7.00
7. 5 Sprayers $0.30 ea
8. A fan/Heater from Wal-mart $10.00

Any input is welcome

cheap but it will do u good are you going to change the light for flower?

Yeah I Grow in soil but For sure you'll need at least 1000wt bulb for Flowering...And we started with two florescent lights,3 clones in a plastic cup, and foxfarm nunts.We didnt spend any money everything was given to us,everything but the nunts and foxfarm soil.Now we have a full complete grow going...everyone has to start somewhere.

I have a 400w mh that was given to me im going to use for flower.

Well I believe you need a 1000wt hp not totally sure but Im pretty sure.

sorry correct me if im wrong nikki but are u saying he should use a 1000 watt hps if the space is just the closet it looks to be 2x2 maybe 4x4 400 watt should be more than enough and i think a 1000 will cuase too many heat issues in such a space

The space is 17" x 23.5" x 7.5' tall a 1000w light i think would be way too much for an area that is less than 2 square feet.

Ok here is day 2 and day 3 pics of my Bubblelicious feminized seed from nirvana I planted 3 but only 2 have popped so far, and here is a pic of the light and refector.

1000 watt would be WAY to much..... I like the setup! plus rep!

I forgot to put in this thread that this first grow will be all soil because I started with seed I also have the ultimate grow kit from nirvana.The aero setup will be for phase two of my plan "The attack of the clones" LOL

Ok need some input, how are my babies looking and should I move the light closer it's about 12" away?

Id put the light about halfway lower than you have it right now if it were my babies.....

Think I should transplant them into a biger pot now?

yes.

Oh yeah lol sorry forgot about the space size!I was just told you dont need a 1000wt to flower I thought so,but thats what we use...

Well my babies just moved into their new home
This town suck for trying to get potting soil ended up using jiffy seed and cutting soil it's the only thing in this town thats MG.

2hrs after transplant
I will be uploading a lot of photos with this grow many times aday. If something doesn't look good let me know and give me a possible fix for the problem..

Looks good, keep it moist for the first couple days. Is that the pot it will be in till harvest?

Yes it is do to the smallness of the grow area.

I'm think i may setup a webcam so people can watch the grow
